Read/write access is controlled per database. By default, only SYSDBA or the
database owner has full access to all database objects (tables, stored
procedures etc). To give a user access - select, update, delete etc - you
need to GRANT him access by doing a GRANT statement. Several tools have a
nice UI to do this - you might want to give Firebird Workbench
www.upscene.com ) a try to do this.

For more information on SQL grants, you might want to read the IB6
beta-documentation - see www.ibphoenix.com download section "InterBase".
